Exploring the various phases of mitotic cell division
In a recent science class, students were asked to explore the process of mitotic cell division by modeling and explaining the various phases: interphase and chromosome replication, prophase, pro-metaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
The supplies for the day’s activity included ribbon for cell membranes and spindle fibers. Forks, knives and spoons served as chromosomes.
